Minn. Court Intervenes When Family Refuses Daughter's Chemo

A Minnesota family fought for the right to help decide how doctors treat their daughter's cancer.

CBS News affiliate WCCO reported that child protective services got involved when Karen Parisian refused to let her 8-year-old daughter go undergo chemotherapy, opting for alternative medicine instead.

Parisian said Sarah, who recently underwent surgery and had 90 percent of a bran tumor removed, was suffering from nausea, sore throat, hair and weight loss from chemotherapy.

Alternative medicine is a lifestyle,but rarely an effective cure.She is beyond the alternative stage and definately needs chemo.
